# Clip Status — full text > Clip Status is a native app, for Mac and iPhone, that monitors the status pages of the services you depend on. On Mac it lives in the menu bar and as a desktop widget; on iPhone it runs in the background with a Live Activity on the Dynamic Island and Home Screen widgets. ## Home Clip Status polls the status pages of services like GitHub, AWS, Google Cloud, Vercel, Cloudflare, Stripe, Apple, and hundreds more on a configurable interval. On Mac it shows the aggregate state in the menu bar, keeps a short history sparkline per service, sends native macOS notifications on state changes, and can forward alerts to Slack, Discord, or any custom webhook. Ships with a curated, remotely-updated catalog of 400+ services aimed at developers, DevOps, and engineering teams, fetched from clipstatus.com/app/remote-catalog.json. Supports any Statuspage.io-compatible URL as a custom service. Requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later on the Mac. ## iPhone app A companion iOS app extends the same background monitoring to iPhone: a Live Activity on the Dynamic Island shows status without opening the app, Home Screen widgets surface it at a glance, and native alerts fire on state changes. Nothing configured on-device ever leaves the phone. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Available on the App Store, same catalog and webhook model as the Mac app. ## About (https://clipstatus.com/about) ### Why it exists Checking whether GitHub, AWS, or Stripe is having a bad day usually means a dashboard, a bookmark folder, or a Slack bot someone set up once and forgot about. Clip Status is the alternative: the status of everything you depend on, always one glance away, in the same place you already look — the menu bar on Mac, the Dynamic Island and widgets on iPhone. ### How it's built Native Swift and SwiftUI, nothing else. No Electron, no background web view, no bundled runtime. It's built to feel like part of macOS, not like a website wearing an app icon. The service catalog lives outside the app binary, so new services can be added without waiting on an app update. The app itself never phones home beyond the status pages you enable, that catalog, and — only if you set one up — a webhook you configure yourself. ### What it isn't It isn't a dashboard you open, remember to check, and close. It isn't a status page aggregator with an account, a login, or a pricing tier for basic notifications. It doesn't collect analytics or sell data, because there isn't any account or backend to collect it into in the first place. ### Who's behind it Clip Status is made by Clipmind.

Clip Status is a native app that monitors the status pages of services you depend on. On the Mac it lives in your menu bar; on iPhone it runs in the background with a Live Activity on the Dynamic Island and Home Screen widgets. You see the health of every service at a glance, get notified when something breaks, and can forward alerts to Slack, Discord, or any webhook. ### Which services are supported? Clip Status ships with a curated catalog covering GitHub, AWS, Google Cloud, Apple, Vercel, Cloudflare, Stripe, Twilio, Datadog, DeepSeek, Fireworks AI, and more. The catalog is updated remotely, so new services appear without needing an app update. You can also add any Statuspage.io-compatible URL as a custom service. ### How does it detect outages? Clip Status polls each service's status page on a configurable interval. When the reported state changes, from operational to degraded, partial outage, or major outage, it updates the menu bar icon immediately and triggers a native macOS notification if you have alerts enabled. ### Can I control which alerts I receive? Yes. Each service has its own notification threshold: any issue, outages only, or critical incidents only. You can also mute individual services entirely without disabling them. ### How do webhooks work? In Settings you can add one or more webhook URLs, Slack incoming webhooks, Discord webhook URLs, or any custom HTTP endpoint. Clip Status sends a POST request with the event details whenever a service changes state. ### Does Clip Status require an account or internet access beyond status pages? No account is required. The only outbound requests Clip Status makes are to the status page URLs you have enabled. No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party tracking. ### Is there an iPhone app? Yes. The iOS companion app mirrors the same monitoring in the background and surfaces status through a Live Activity on the Dynamic Island, Home Screen widgets, and native alerts, no need to open the app. Nothing you configure ever leaves your phone. ### What are the system requirements? Clip Status requires macOS 15 Sequoia or later on the Mac, and iOS or iPadOS 17 or later on iPhone and iPad. It is a native app optimized for Apple silicon and Intel Macs. ### Is the app available on the App Store? Yes, Clip Status is available on both the Mac App Store and the iOS App Store. ## Support (https://clipstatus.com/support) Reach us by email at maurivan@maurivan.com for bug reports, feature requests, or questions. Users of the app can also use Settings → General → Feedback, which opens a pre-filled email. ## Privacy Policy (https://clipstatus.com/app/privacy) ### Data stored on your Mac Clip Status saves your preferences locally using macOS UserDefaults: which services you monitor, their enabled/muted state, notification and webhook settings, refresh interval, appearance preference, and a cached copy of the remote service catalog. This data stays on your device (and, for the widget, in an App Group container shared only between the app and its own widget extension). We do not operate servers that receive your personal settings. ### Network requests the app makes Status checks: Clip Status polls the public status page of each service you choose to monitor, on the interval you configure, to read its current status. Service catalog: the list of services available to monitor is fetched from clipstatus.com/app/remote-catalog.json, so new services can appear without an app update. This is a static file download — no personal data is sent with the request. Service icons: to show a service's logo, Clip Status requests a favicon from that service's own domain, or from Google's or DuckDuckGo's public favicon services as a fallback. These requests include the domain name of the service being looked up, but nothing that identifies you personally. Webhooks (optional): if you add a webhook URL, Clip Status sends status-change events only to that destination. We never see or receive this data ourselves. ### Notifications If you allow macOS notifications, Clip Status uses Apple's UserNotifications framework to alert you about service status changes. Notification content is generated entirely on your Mac. ### Diagnostics Clip Status uses Apple's MetricKit to receive crash, hang, and performance reports. This only happens if you've opted in to “Share With App Developers” in macOS System Settings, and reports go through Apple (App Store Connect) — Clip Status does not run its own crash-reporting or analytics service, and this data never reaches Clipmind directly. ### Feedback The Feedback field in Settings → General opens a pre-filled email in your own Mail app, addressed to us. Nothing is sent until you choose to hit Send from your mail client — we only receive what you decide to write. ### What we don't do Clip Status doesn't require an account, doesn't run analytics or tracking SDKs inside the app, doesn't sell or share your data, and doesn't track you across other apps or websites.
